“In reality, bills worth Rs 550 crore have been cleared from the treasury ensuring release of payments to about 10,000 beneficiaries in a single day on January 13,” the ministers said in a press release.

They further said that such baseless statements of the opposition leaders reflect their lack of wisdom and awareness about the policies and transformative initiatives implemented by the government in the last two years. “The Opposition has chosen to mislead the public with unfounded criticisms instead of acknowledging the real progress,” they said. The ministers claimed said the state had made remarkable achievements in the last two years.
